The Warren Commission (WC) claimed that Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) assassinated President John F. Kennedy (JFK) from the southeastern sixth floor window of the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD) on November 22, 1963. They further claimed that he used an Italian 6.5 Mannlicher-Carcano (M-C) while doing it.
A number of witnesses stated that they saw smoke in the Grassy Knoll (GK) area, and this caused an issue with the WC since they said that no one was firing from that area. Nearly three years after the assassination former WC attorney Joseph Ball was still trying to extinguish this troublesome observation.
****************************************************************
Former WC attorney Joseph Ball spoke to an audience in San Diego, California, on November 17, 1966. During his talk he stated, “Since when did rifles give off a puff of smoke? They don’t do it.” (Dallas Morning News, November 27, 1966)
This comment was in response to some of the witnesses in Dealey Plaza (DP) saying that they observed smoke at the time of the assassination. One of these witnesses was Sam Holland and he stated his observation of smoke over and over again during his WC testimony.
Mr. HOLLAND - ...There was a shot, a report, I don't know whether it was a shot. I can't say that. And a puff of smoke came out about 6 or 8 feet above the ground right out from under those trees. And at just about this location from where I was standing you could see that puff of smoke, like someone had thrown a firecracker, or something out, and that is just about the way it sounded…..I have no doubt about seeing that puff of smoke come out from under those trees either…I have also told those two, four, six Federal men that have been out there that I definitely saw the puff of smoke and heard the report from under those trees….heard what I thought for a moment was a firecracker and he slumped over and I looked over toward the arcade and trees and saw a puff of smoke come from the trees…I heard three more shots after the first shot but that was the only puff of smoke I saw….But the puff of smoke I saw definitely came from behind the arcade to the trees.
Other witnesses had also seen smoke too and the WC could not tolerate this since the smoke had been observed in the area of the GK. They of course claimed that the shots had come from the TSBD so smoke coming from the GK wouldn’t do.
Ball’s comment was in direct conflict with the WC’s own evidence found in the twenty-six volumes as well. Commission Exhibit (CE) 3133 to be exact. This is a letter from FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to the WC’s General Counsel J. Lee Rankin concerning the alleged murder weapon, the Italian Mannlicher-Carcano, and it shows that the rifle in question did emit smoke.

Dear Mr. Rankin:
In your letter dated September 19, 1964, you inquired as to whether any flame was visible at the muzzle of the 6.5 Mannlicher-Carcano rifle, Serial No. C2766 when this rifle was fired under daylight conditions.
The rifle was fired both in direct sunlight and in full shade and no flame was visible. A small amount of smoke was visible; however, the pale orange flame from burning gases emitted from the muzzle would be visible only at night or in a darkened room.
The results of these tests were furnished by telephone to Mr. Norman Redlich of the Commission staff on September 21, 1964.
Sincerely yours,
J. Edgar Hoover (CE 3133, p. 811)

This shows that the rifle in question, the alleged murder weapon, emitted a small amount of white smoke, therefore, why couldn’t other rifles do the same thing? Especially if they were of higher power and larger caliber. This evidence shows that Ball was either ignorant of the evidence or that he was willing to outright lie about it. Evidence like this.

I rushed towards the park and saw people running towards the railroad yards beyond Elm Street and I ran over and jumped a fence and a railroad worker stated to me that he believed the smoke from the bullets came from the vicinity of a stockade fence which surrounds the park area.

This was corroborated by Deputy Sheriff J.L. Oxford in his report which said that when they reached the picket fence area there was a man “who told us that he had seen smoke up in the corner of the fence.” (Decker Exhibit 5323, p. 530)

Perhaps Holland said it best when he told the Associated Press in November 1966 that "four or five of us saw it, the smoke . . . one of my employees even saw the muzzle flash. The way the Warren Commission published my testimony, it was kind of watered down some." (The New York Times, November 23, 1966, p. 25.)
We again see that the claims of the WC as a whole, and individuals who had worked for them, are sunk by the actual evidence found in the twenty-six volumes of exhibits. Thus, the conclusion of the WC is again sunk.
